In 2009 they held their first sale at the Manheim wholesale auto auction there. They added a second St. Louis sale, then one in Springfield, Missouri in 2010. This was their first appearance in Phoenix (actually in Tolleson) with a Friday-Saturday auction, January 14-15.<br \/>\nAbout 240 cars showed up for the first time sale, with a 40% sell-through and just over $1.5 million in total sales. It was well received by the participants and by Manheim Phoenix and will be back, next year on Saturday and Sunday with a kick-off party on Friday evening.<br \/>\nThe Manheim facility is impressive, with 11 lanes for wholesaling used cars. The bathrooms are clean. The food is exceptional. The auction crew was first class, led by Brent Earlywine on the block and backed up by veterans Kenny Garmin and Marty Hill in the ring.<br \/>\nAs the first in the series of so-called \u201cScottsdale\u201d auctions the results are impressive \u2013 particularly for a first time sale with a mixed consignment \u2013 and a strong indication that the coming week will be very successful. As can be seen from the cars that follow, the quality was highly variable. Some, like the GTO and \u201936 Ford coupe, would be proudly sold anywhere. Others, like the P1800ES and Reatta, were mangy derelicts looking for the truly brave and committed to rescue them. There were some gems, like the 300TD wagon with stroker Chevy power.<br \/>\nMotoexotica\u2019s sale is a valuable addition to January\u2019s schedule in the Valley of the Sun. It fills a void left by Kruse and ICA, and provides a needed place for consignors who don\u2019t want to, or can\u2019t, deal with the schedules and demands of the other auctions. Not much of an excuse is needed to justify two or three more days in Arizona in January. The Motoexotica\/Manheim sale is more than sufficient reason, no excuses required.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sportscardigest.com\/auctions-explained-a-note-on-conditions-and-character\/\">(See Reference &#8211; Auctions Explained, A Note on Conditions and Character).<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<strong>Motoexotica Phoenix 2011 Auction Results<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_754109\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-754109\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/002-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-754109\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/002-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/002-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/002-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/002-1-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/002-1-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/002-1-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-754109\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lot # 114 1973 Volvo P1800ES Sport Wagon; S\/N 1836364005605; Metallic Copper\/Black vinyl; Visually maintained, largely original, 4- condition; Hammered Sold at $5,800 plus commission of 6.00%; Final Price $6,148 \u2013 Automatic, A\/C, no radio, steel wheels, trim rings, roof rack.

The seller claimed some $9,000 spent on this Metro\\&#8217;s mechanicals recently, a claim impossible to verify from its mediocre, neglected appearance.

Modified engine, custom interior with front seat only. Awful paint, worse bodywork, peeling chrome. A project car that needs everything. This is a rat, a car with no happy surprises in its new owner\\&#8217;s future. The underlying vehicle, however, is worth the price it brought as the basis for a custom project. Its originality is seriously, and probably fatally, compromised.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_754120\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-754120\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/012-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-754120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/012-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/012-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/012-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/012-1-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/012-1-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/012-1-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-754120\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lot # 329 1952 Cadillac 62 4-Dr. Sedan; S\/N 526237644; Light Green, Dark Green roof\/Light Green, Dark Green cloth; Visually maintained, largely original, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $11,300 plus commission of 6.00%; Final Price $11,978 \u2013 Automatic, WonderBar radio, P\/W, Autronic Eye, P\/S, P\/B, sombrero wheel covers, wide whitewalls, skirts.
